I say it from the beginning that there is no confusion: I have no chronicler claims, so This is not a Chronicle book. There are simple thoughts that have sprung me up after an extremely pleasant and useful reading, even revealing. I wanted to have and read the book, after discovering that the author would support a seminar in March Raiden Dojo from Bucharest (information found here – click – access is allowed to anyone).
For an lover of history, not only martial arts, the book can be extremely interesting, so I recommend it warmly. He took me. I found myself in some aspects, others that I have not understood or if I understand I am aware that it will take me for a long time to apply them. I will stop a little in something that put me on my thoughts.
«How can we say to detect the danger in the world that surrounds us, if we cannot detect it even in ourselves? It can be said that to understand the nature of the danger it is to understand the nature of man, which, if not disciplined, is only a reflection of impermanence. Self -knowledge through the death of the ego is at the center of Ninjutsu. Self -knowledge is the only weapon that allows you to perceive the danger in time to avoid it. (…) The real strategist is in front of everyone a strategist of his own being, of his ego. Likewise, a doctor should be his doctor. How can we cure others, if we are not able to see the disease and first cure it in our bodies? The car -diagnosis is based on the internal introspection that derives from the practice. This includes the knowledge of all our defects and weakness, in particular the most hidden «.
Reading these lines, I realized how much I had to recover. I simply struck the thought that I debuted alive with fear. And fear cannot give birth to trust. In addition, the school lied to us. He did not teach us to trust us or those around us. We have been trained to always depend on a higher court. The school never invited us to look at us. Nobody did it.
I don’t know if you noticed it, but when we take the wrong step (let’s make a wrong decision), let’s say «Fucked us«We do X. that if I had not put that tail and we would do while cutting the head, the eighth wonder of the world was coming. Or when the flow swells and we take our home, let’s say»God beat us«He wouldn’t say he was stupid for putting his home on the banks of the flow because he seemed poetic. And in general, we are waiting for someone (preferably the authorities or an NGOs) to let us out of the shit that we entered alone. What to say about the fatalist»So he started from God«?! I have the impression that we resign in the blood. This is time to take your errors/weak points as you see rarely!
I remember that after the tragedy of 11 September 2001, I saw many relationships made in America and I was shocked to see that some American ordinary expected a spiderman, a superman, a batman to save people left in the towers … I have always wondered. Why is we taught to wait for salvation from elsewhere, instead of looking in ourselves and finding the strength necessary to overcome critical situations?!
We seem that we are impotent people. Always, he pushes someone else into the precipice or someone else has to get out of trouble. We don’t have too much with our strength … «How God wants«, Another holy word of the people … it is difficult to get rid of this mentality. In the end, we imitate that we are trying to do something and in the end we shake our shoulders and declared:»I defeated the system!«. We have in the blood the impulse of looking for our failures guilty!
I realize that an inner journey is not the most comfortable path, but I think it is worth it. It takes a lot of power to recognize when you are wrong, you need a lot of trust in yourself, in your strength to know how to react in certain unpleasant situations. But for this you have to know you very well.
What does a good PR
Most of us come from childhood. And the good and bad ones. We bring them with us for all our lives, «brown» them, we try to decipher them (sometimes we transform and transform them), but remain somewhere in us. I spent my childhood to be enchanted by this poster. Dad attacked the door in the living room. One of the reasons why I wanted karate, it was Bruce Lee. I dreamed of being able to manage Nunchhaku like him. I was about 7 years old when I started practicing martial arts and after about two years to go to the gym, I had the first Moment WTF: I was starting to wrap When I learn to turn Nunchaku through the training room?! I was a little deflated when I discovered that it would never happen. It was exactly the moment when you get up with your hand in your jaw and ask yourself: What am I looking for in my life, why did I come to disturb my peace?! I mean, I knew that Bruce Lee is karate, I saw it with Nunchaku, I came to karate and … why don’t I learn?! In 12 years as I was for training, I didn’t put my hand on any weapon. And even if at that moment I didn’t say anything, there was a little frustration, the feeling of being deceived …
In the mind of any profane, Bruce Lee was the same as karate. Go to the gym and train to be like Bruce Lee. This was all I knew. Even if in the meantime I have read sometimes as a practical style, I have forgotten how it is called. I would have appreciated a lot if my senses had said it since then: «You know, we do Shotokan here, Bruce Lee was doing something else, we don’t use Nunchaku«… Obviously, I had to manage me. I asked my uncle to make one to learn alone. I still wonder I have never broken my head!
I remember that I was already practicing martial arts when I saw the film for the first time «Karate Kid«I saw it with my grandparents. I was a fan Mr. Miyagi!! At the end of the film, I didn’t stop praise. Then I heard the voice of reason (read the voice of the grandmother): «Tomorrow start to train, we have to clean the cellar«…»And we also have a job in the garden«, Added the grandfather.
It is right Dr Kacem Zoughari When he says in the book you need a lot of training to perfect a technique and that in addition to the physical side you have to train your spirit to anticipate what will come from you. Today, when I want to avoid some tasks that I don’t like, disappear and do it naturally that nobody can disturb me.
The story of the ninjutsu is fascinating and I think it serves Like a good pr for art itself. And this is a great thing, especially in the times when we live. The fact that he has not turned into sport is a resource. When you keep in tradition, it is difficult to fight on par with the aggressive promotion of which other sports benefits from. That’s why I find it even more interesting An art like Ninjutsu has maintained its relevance to date. It continues to attract new practitioners but at the same time has developed a natural selection system because although many arrive, few remain.
Last week, a friend told me: «You have chosen a style of martial arts in which there are no competitions because, in fact, you have no spirit of competition or because you are afraid of the competition … in short, you are a weak man«Maybe. The truth is that I never motivated me to win a diploma or medal. After the coach proposed to the mother to do gymnastics of the performance, I gave up going to the room because it had become a job and because the fun part of the training had disappeared. In the age of 12 I had a child.
Of the book written by Dr Kacem Zoughari, I understand it Ninjutsu concerns survival. The art of survival is a kind of competition with yourself. This seems more interesting than any diploma or medal. Sport involves a temporal sequence, deadlines. Sport (in particular performance, or scarcely practiced) uses your body, squeezes it. Unlike sport, Ninjutsu is on life. He teaches you to use your body correctly, strengthen your tendons so you can work and train in old age. It’s fabulous! In addition, the book is very nice in the book What Kata in Ninjutsu means.
I discovered another thing in this book (well, I discovered more, but I don’t say everyone). It seems that a ninja was very good in mathematics, physics and chemistry. And … these are not good news for me. Since I read this book with the pen in my hand and I still noticed questions or thoughts, I wrote in this paragraph in my notebook: «Oh, in the name of political correctness, I hope to discover that they were also a ninja from the human !!!«Even if I never liked the idea of political correctness, you notice that I have no problems using it when it adapts to me.
Whether you want to practice ninjutsu, I recommend this book because it can open your horizon a little. As a council and the seminar will support Dr Kacem Zoughari In March in Bucharest (Click here).
